This film
was developed as a reenactment of the convention held to ratify the
Constitution in New York State. The
use of blending modern day media (circa late 1980’s) and TV personalities and
journalists provides for a program that is bound to capture the interest of
your students while imparting a great deal of accurate historical content on
the issues that confronted the convention and also the issues facing the new
nation, and the sharp divisions among the federalists and anti-federalists. |
